Today is the summer solstice, it is supposed to be warm and sunny but we had a very grey, cloudy and rainy day.
I have the feeling that our summers are shorter every year. Last year we only had summer temperatures for one month!
How was your first day of summer? Was the weather sunny and warm?
Picture of the grey clouds I could see from my balcony.

At noon today the temp here was 17C and raining. It never got any warmer than that. (Pretty put on a coat when we had to run to the grocery store. )

@nela13 No. I live almost exactly in the center of the contiguous US. My state is Missouri. I live almost at the border of Missouri and Arkansas. (Roughly 64 kilos from Arkansas border.) My city is close to Springfield, Missouri.

We're on the rainy season now. Summer past.by unnoticed, maybe be because there was no summer getaway so sort of it was never felt.

@Butterfingers do you mean that winters there are very cold?

We had gray and white clouds all day today, with short bursts of sunlight from time to time. Looks like it could rain, but it could pass by just as easily.

@nela13 We did get the rain yesterday evening and a little over night. My husband thought the overnight rain was a dream until I told him, no... that happened. Apparently our windows were still wet this morning.

Here it is the opposite, we have longer winters compared to summers.

That is a really neat photo.
It was hot here. What I have noticed is that spring starts earlier each year for some reason then of course so does summer. It has been between 35c and 43c since middle of May. I am hoping that July will see temperatures stay around 35c with no more really high temperatures.

It felt cool around noon yesterday when I went to the mailbox. But today it's rainy and I haven't been out yet.
